"When Five Years Pass" by Federico García Lorca is a surrealistic play that captures the essence of the human condition amidst societal upheaval. Set during the aftermath of a revolution, the play follows the reunion of characters who grapple with love, loss, and existential uncertainty. Through poetic dialogue and symbolic imagery, Lorca explores themes of memory, identity, and the fleeting nature of time, offering a haunting reflection on the aftermath of change.

Before I was assigned to the show my Co-Sound Designer, Kevin Madison, Composed most of the music for this production. I had made a quick idea of what I perceived the world of the show sounded like and we worked together adding elements of both sounds.
